Note: It is recommended to connect the PMP to the wall charger when using USB mode on
the computer to prevent loss of data due to write errors if the battery suddenly goes flat,
especially during heavy read/write operations.
21 Using USB charger
As the PMP automatically defaults to USB mode as soon as PMP is connected to a USB
port, the following trick is needed to use USB’s power to “charge” and use the PMP at the
same time instead of using the standard wall charger.
•
After USB is plugged, press STOP
■
•
Leave the USB plugged and continue to use the PMP as usual

This allows user to take advantage of USB’s power to charge the PMP
For normal charging using USB port, i.e. while PMP is off, just plug the USB to the PMP and
wait till the red charging indicator light goes off.
